Perfect for iOS Debugging

I needed to check how often a third party library was making network calls in my iOS app. I tried using wireshark and some other terminal tools but neither produced what I was looking for. This app gave me exactly what I needed in 30 seconds. 100% worth the money, this will be my go-to network debugging tool going forward 👍

Hopefully this is incomplete

I hope there’s much more to come but looking at the version history, I can’t really say I have much confidence in it happening.You’re very limited in what you can do or see, URL structure only appears as 2 parts, form data doesn’t appear very detailed as with the desktop version. You don’t even have the ability to repeat a request, much less use breakpoints for editing requests or responses. It’s not completely useless but it certainly needs improvement, otherwise I’ll be hoping for telerik to release fiddler for iOS, given all the extra features Fiddler4 has over Charles, I would expect they’d release an iOS app with more features.

Ridiculously Good

If you’re looking for an awesome utility to debug networking on iOS this is the tool. It’s got all of the same great functionality of the desktop application, but with the ease of use of iOS. You can MITM SSL requests to debug endpoints, inspect network traffic, capture sessions, and a lot more. The best part is that it’s extremely intuitive to use. I highly recommend this.

Good tool for developers

The initial configuration took about 30 minutes to figure out, however it is now much easier then using the desktop app. One of the best things about this app is the easy use once you have things setup. The current price is not to bad for the amount of time it saves you debugging. The work flow is slightly different in that all request monitoring is on your phone, so if you have hundreds of JSONs flying around your app you might find it harder to inspect them on the phones app versus the desktop version.

Huge boost to troubleshoot

I have only used this app for a few hours and has helped track down several problems by giving me visibility to what exactly is being sent over my API calls.Works fine with SSL connections, just follow ALL of the directions. I seemed to have blindly skipped the second step and shocked it wasn’t working! They have it documented well, I just obviously didn’t follow said documentation!

Finally it is on iOS

This is an amazing accomplishment for the team and for users. Now it is much easier to inspect traffic for application troubleshooting without having to go through hoops of setting up a proxy though a computer. It was a very smooth process to setup and I think this will allow more people to try the tool out and include it in their dev workflow.

Great to See Where Apps Send Your Web Traffic

I’m not a software or web developer. But I’m very interested in personal privacy & what information my installed apps are sending to third parties. This app allows me to sniff internet requests & responses going from & to my iPhone & iPad over HTTP, HTTPS, & cellular networks. Using domain names & IP addresses of network traffic, you can see the vast majority of popular apps are sending device data (name, device, calendar, location, search history, etc.) to many third-party advertising trackers. If you want to see which installed apps are the main sources of digital surveillance & tracking of the personal information on your device, get this app.It took about 10 minutes to set up the app. The setup directions are clear & understandable, but they must be precisely followed for the app to work properly.Many thanks to the CharlesProxy team for bringing this app to iOS & making it so easy to use.

So convenient!

The iOS version of Charles is a perfect complement to the desktop version: it turns on and off without messing with WiFi settings, can capture cell data, and works even when you're away from your laptop. Would be great if you could toggle on/off or clear session without switching apps, like via Control Center or Notification Center.Use the desktop version for easier viewing and searching of capture files, and advanced features like Map Remote or repeating requests. If you get stuck, there's great info on the Charles website. Happy sleuthing!

Only one thing missing

It would be great if you added the same “focus” functionality like the desktop app, make it like a favorite or something that you can select endpoints that always shows on the top to make a quicker way of debugging while coding, that’s the only thing missing from making it a 5 star review.Thanks.

Useful Info

The app is primarily useful for developers debugging their work, but if you want to get an idea of how many apps are sending data in the background and see some of that information, then this app is revealing. It works perfectly, but you have to read and follow the instructions. If you don’t follow the instructions, then it won’t set up correctly. As we used to say RTFM.

Description

Charles Proxy for iOS lets you capture and inspect network requests and responses on your iOS device. You can view metadata, headers and bodies in the app, so you can finally debug your app’s networking issues without a computer. Charles Proxy for iOS is a new app from the creators of Charles Proxy for desktop.

HOW IT WORKS Turn Charles on when you want to start capturing. Charles captures your network requests and responses in the background while you test your app or website. Return to Charles to inspect the requests and responses. If you also have Charles on your desktop, you can transfer recorded sessions to your desktop to explore them on the big screen. Charles creates a local VPN on your device. All of your network traffic passes through Charles on your device, and then out to the internet as usual over either WiFi or Mobile / Cellular data. There is no remote server involved, and your data always remains private to you. FEATURES * SSL Proxying to view SSL requests in plain text * View and share request and responses bodies * Syntax highlighting for text request and response bodies * Measure network performance over WiFi or Mobile / Cellular networks * Block requests to nominated hosts * DNS spoofing
